Manufacturer Narrative
|
It was reported that the patient has femoral implant loosening.A revision surgery is planned to exchange the femoral implant and poly insert.Review of the device history record indicates that the device was manufactured to specification.Returned device evaluation: the explanted femoral implant was returned for evaluation.Evaluation of the explanted femoral implant indicates no signs of obvious wear or damage.The distal part of the implant where there are no undercuts appears to have grinded with the bone which resulted in a slight shine.From the information available, a conclusive statement cannot be made as to why this implant became loose.However, leftover cement present on the femoral implant and the faint shine of the distal femur portion of the implant suggest the loosening could have been related to the cementing technique.Issues with cementing technique can include not giving adequate time for the cement to set on the distal femur or implant used for trialing and not cleaned well prior to cementing.
